Proactive routing

We analyse your renewal opportunities and new project spend to identify what can route through marketplaces, where better pricing exists, and how purchases impact commitments. This proactive approach captures optimisation opportunities that reactive procurement misses.

Commitment assurance

We assess vendor eligibility for commitment qualification across AWS, Microsoft, and Google Cloud. Technical requirements remain paramount, but when vendors meet your technical needs, we ensure eligible purchases count toward commitments rather than happening through traditional channels.

Cut costs

Routing eligible purchases through marketplace to burn down commitments reduces total software costs. This means you avoid commitment shortfall penalties whilst accessing verified solutions. Recent examples include a £507,000 Google Cloud transaction achieving 50% plus commitment burndown.
